The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I hope he likes school, and doesn't get too bored.

Good thing you've hidden Nana's meds. She may be forgetting that she already took something, that's why she is taking too many.

I don't think it has really sunk in. The wait was just so long and with so much of it apart you get way to darn good at waiting :-P
That we are finally there is starting to sink in. 2 days and 4.5 hours. I honestly have not the slightest clue how people manage multi year engagements.
So here I am at work. I am packed up. Around 3 or 3:30 I will head home slap the last few things in the bag, drop the cats of at the slammer and catch a one way flight out of here.
I will get in around midnight and crash in a hotel by the airport. So we will see each other again tomorrow morning some time. Which for some reason feels about a week away.

Is it next Tuesday yet?

I have a lot of... really unimportant things to do. I would rather just sit and read a book but I have to get my nails done, polish my ring, find more tablecloths... do my laundry and pack my few belongings into a "honeymoon" set and a "to Iowa" set since I'm leaving the latter here until we swing back through next week.

Still seems vaguely unreal.

I am thinking after the first one or two she might have forgotten she had taken one but by number 4 it was that purple elephant that was all like "hey, try one of these. they are great." and she as all "Don't mind if I do!" *pop*

I must have made this tea too strong. I can't think of any other reason I would be all jumpy and unable to concentrate.

No, Nana knows how many pills she takes. When she told me, I was thinking Tylenol 3 or something. I had no idea it was Vicodin.

Then add the shots on top of that. And the fact that by that evening she was taking Percocet.

I know that my problem is I'm doing chores, I hate scrubbing multiple bathrooms. No wonder I can't keep my mind on stuff.

Amazing. I took two pain pills once when my eye got hit with that handichopper plug (Remember that? When I was making fried chicken livers.)

It made me nearly comatose!

I can't remember if it was oxy or hydro codone, though...

I am pretty sure my good mood is because the test station is being nice to me today. That has to be it.

Well most people would react strongly to that much medicine. But Nana consumes more pills than food.

When we moved her here, the doctor cut her meds down to a third of what she had been taking.

Oh, good, I'm glad the test station is being nice. Very considerate of it.
